Tennis court.
Violeta, in the middle of a tennis match, suddenly sneezed twice.
Nessie passed by and asked, “Vio, are you alright? Did the weather change give you a cold?”
Violeta rubbed her nose.
“Maybe not.”
She had a hunch that someone was gossiping about her.
Just then, Jasper and Hayden entered the tennis court.
“Vio!” Jasper called out.
Violeta turned and met his gaze.

“Sure,” she replied.
Meanwhile, Zoren and Liang Zexi were waiting for them at the east gate. Zoren was standing aside smoking, and
Liang Zexi was looking at his phone. Suddenly, Zoren felt a presence suddenly close to him. He looked with his
head turned. It was, in fact, Lucy.
She stood before him, hands tucked in her pockets.
“What's up?” Zoren asked.
Lucy lowered her head and said in a cold voice, “It's my birthday next week. Tell Jasper.”
Zoren scoffed. “Why not tell him yourself?”
Lucy turned to leave. “Just inform him. He can decide if he wants to come.”
Zoren was left speechless.
Observing the exchange, Liam inquired, “What was that about?”
Zoren flicked his cigarette. “Beats me. She wantsto tell Jasper it’s her birthday next week, and he can come
if he wants.”
It seemed Lucy still harboured feelings for Jasper.
Perhaps after Jasper cleared the air about Violeta, Lucy realised her mistake and sought reconciliation.
Soon, Jasper, Hayden, and Violeta arrived at the east gate.
As they got into the car, Zoren relayed the message.
He teased, “Jas, remember what’s happening next week?”
Jasper asked confusingly, “What, are you going to give birth?”
Zoren laughed. “D*mn, think harder.”
Jasper pondered but drew a blank. “Just spit it out.”

“Which one? I've got a few.”
“Lucy's.”
“Why should | care?”
“She call the way here to askto pass on the message. She even said you could decide whether to show
up or not.” Jasper fell silent, then muttered, “We broke up ages ago. Why would | go? Waste of a gift.”
Violeta, buckled in the backseat, listened quietly.
They reached the intecafe, played games until nightfall, then dropped Violeta off before heading home
themselves.
The day of the finals arrived.
Zelena, stung by the previous day’s mockery of her bracelet, had spent the night researching online.
To her dismay, she discovered that tri-coloured jadeite did indeed exist, just as her classmates had claimed.
Despite this new knowledge, Zelena remained convinced that Violeta’s bracelet was counterfeit.
